SMIB: Mission Cure

SMIB: Mission Cure

I loved the game!

It has challenging, fun puzzles and beautiful art.

I found the idea of giving commands to the robot to perform the tasks very cool and requires attention to not end the battery of the robot.

The voxel art plus the puzzle mechanic is amazing! I also like the possibility to change the camera perspective! Remembers a lot the curiosity robot! Great game for tech-lovers like me lol. You Know what? Recommended!

Starlight Explorers

Starlight Explorers

It’s a fun way to learn about gravity and orbits, with a story designed to welcome a younger audience to those concepts. Beyond that, the simple aim-and-release gameplay is versatile enough to range from a meditative squiggle-drawing activity to a fiendish spatial-reasoning challenge.

The game is very relaxing and satisfying when you find the right trajectory. For me, Starlight really shines toward the middle of the story missions where the planets are no longer shown and you must find them through their gravitation pull.

Space Otter Charlie

Space Otter Charlie

A unique humorous space adventure to find Otters a new home. Really fun gameplay & story with cool weapons and upgrades.

Space Otter Charlie is a really fun space adventure game where humans have abandoned Earth and Otters must take on responsibility to find the animals a new home!

The movement mechanics are very unique and smooth which makes it very easy to learn, the gameplay is really fun with many weapons and possibilities for attacking the various enemies in each of the well designed levels. I loved the story and the humor too, there were some great Otter puns and at no point did it feel like the story was dragged out.

Target Audience: Those wanting a small test of puzzling, and those with kids

Summary:

Space Otter Charlie tries to be the little space engine it could, and it somewhat succeeds in being a middle tier puzzle platformer that uses momentum and trap placement to test the player, but not be overly difficult in the process. To me, it’s a good game to get your kids introduced into thinking about things while still being something you can play and enjoy, even if those looking for a hardcore challenge in the genre and not going to find it here. Puzzle design hits a game of great to annoying, and in the middle third of the game when it hits its stride, you can be really having fun with it. Granted, there will be times it stumbles, sometimes the lack of useful information can lead to the wrong assumptions made and lead to even more frustration on the player’s part. The combat is serviceable but only serves as minor hazards to space out the puzzles, although the reflector ray can lead to some really fun moments.

Disney•Pixar WALL-E

Disney•Pixar WALL-E

Wall-e is not any kind of game, it’s a game that truly makes you question how you didn’t find this game sooner, it gives a completely new meaning to video games, with the amazing graphics, amazing story and amazing smooth gameplay. There really isn’t a better game than Wall-e. Wall-e answers the questions like: What is the meaning of life?, What happens after death?, Is life real?, Why does dad hit me? Etc. It really is something special… You really wouldn’t think that it’s that much of a special game at first glance but when you play it you realize more and more how fantastic the game actually is… The only con is that people might make fun of you because it’s a “kids game”, but they aren’t real friends anyways, right? So I would 100% recommend this game to anyone who seeks for the most amazing and fascinating game on this platform. It truly is something special and I think that everyone should experience this amazing experience that Wall-e will give you.

I got this game on sale for like 5 bucks, and it’s AWESOME. I had the console version of this, as well as the PC demo when I was younger, so I decided, “why not”? I was not disappointed. The controls were kind of weird to get used to at first, but I got the hang of it. It’s charming and cute, but action-packed at the same time. I definitely recommend picking this one up if it’s on sale, or even if it’s not. If you’re a completionist and would want to beat this 100%, I genuinely wish you the best of luck. Seriously.

Shiny

Shiny

The cover art from the steam page got my attention right away, I’m a sucker for interesting looking platfomers. I blame it on those cute little yellow eyes, they almost smiled at me. I thought Shiny would be a fun loving little robot platformer with perhaps a quirky soundtrack and interesting mechanics involving robotic acrobatics. To my surprise, however, Shiny was quite different.

The main character is not actually named Shiny, but rather a robot named Kramer 227. Your objective is to save all the robots from an exploding planet. The humans inhabiting the planet decided to split and leave you and your companion robots to die - interplanetary kindness at its finest. There is a decently long cut scene to explain the whole story at the beginning of the game, and that is the extent of any story line. Now your robots buddies are all out of power and you have to charge them up so you can save them.

Thanks to the developers Garage 227 and the publisher 1C Company for providing a good game for me to escape, explore and enjoy.

I have mixed opinion on Shiny as its one of those titles that should be better. It has all the ingredients to be a success but as with a lot of indie games, funds, time, experience, etc could have forced their hand to release the game before it’s actually in a more polished state. Still at a decent price Shiny delivers enough content and fun that makes it worth checking out.

Space Pilgrim Academy: Year 1

Space Pilgrim Academy: Year 1

Overview

Space Pilgrim Academy: Year 1 is the beginning of the second series of the Space Pilgrim Saga (fifth installment in the saga) which takes place eight years after the events of Space Pilgrim Episode IV: Sol. After a period of peace, Gail Pilgrim now lives the good life as an Ambassador of the Galactic Union and Chancellor of the Gail Pilgrim Space Academy who simply cannot overcome her adventuresome spirit as the game starts with Gail and the new crew of the starship Quicksilver investigating an attack on Latona Station in which the only survivor is a young girl named Maggie Dale whom Gail takes custody of until Maggie’s mother can be located. Continuing the Space Pilgrim Academy tradition of splitting time between Gail Pilgrim and somebody else, this time the adventure is divided between Gail and her personal quest to investigate the attack on Latona Station while trying to locate Maggie’s mother, and Maggie Dale as she attends classes and spends time between classes by socializing with fellow first year cadets.

Space Pilgrim Academy is a very nice adventure game cleverly using what the RPGMaker programming softwares have to offer.

It’s a sequel to the 4 chapters of the Space Pilgrim serie, though it’s enjoyable even without knowing those previous episodes.

Space Pilgrim Academy is truly faithful to Space Pilgrim spirit, as far as the storyline, humor and, to some extent, philosophical questioning are concerned.

For those who yet don’t know the background: the saga is futuristic. It depicts a sight of what’s left of humankind in the XXIIth century (if I recall, maybe later), in far away galaxies. There’s much about politics, some sorts of foreign affairs between factions, war and terrorism. From a certain point of view it’s very relevant and up-to-date with the world we’re living in (differently thinking people trying to share the same place.. some more peaceful than others, but all willing to gain power and rule over the others, hence leading to conflicts).
